Area: Quebec

I'm french-canadian and I live with my husband Jerome who is from the Reunion island, we travelled around the world, participated in many volunteer jobs. It inspired us to develop our own project: create a gathering place for travellers and artists who want to live in the nature. Our project is to create an hostel and a artistic center. We propose ecological-hosting: three house, yurt, teepees. On the land, there are many water springs and we are thinking about building rustic spa. So it is a very big project. Now, it is just the start. The city is already helping us to create the business, but there is a lot to do, to build and to fix. At the moment, we are doing renovations in the ancestral house. A 125 years old building, that we want to restore. The house is very rustic at the moment but it is possible to live in. From mid-march, we'll be back at work so if you'd like to join us, have more infos, pictures you can contact me and it will be a pleasure to answer to you. The area is beautiful, very wild, there are many lakes, rivers, ski resort, hikes. Je suis québécoise et vit avec mon maris qui est réunionnais, avons voyagé et participé à des projets bénévoles autours du monde, c'est expériences nous ont beaucoup appris et donnée envie de proposer un projet : Créer un lieu rassembleur, pour les voyageurs et artistes qui ont envie de découvrir et vivre dans la nature. L'an dernier nous avons acheté un terrain et une vieille maison ancestrale situés dans la vallée de la Matapédia en Gaspésie. Le site, les gens, les projet sont formidable. Le projet est de créer une auberge et un centre de résidence artistique. Nous voullons proposer hébergement ecologique: cabanes dans les arbres, yourtes, teepees. Et sur le terrain, il y a plusieurs sources d'eau potable et nous songeons a un moyen de faire un spa rustique... Bref, un gros projet. Nous en sommes au tout début, nous avons déjà commencé les démarches de démarrage d'entreprise avec la municipalité d'Amqui et les gens nous aident à mettre le projet sur pied. Mais il y a beaucoup à faire, dans plusieurs domaines. Pour l'instant nous sommes en train de renover la maison, un batiment de 125 ans tout en bois constuit à l'ancienne, par les colons de la région. La maison est très rustique, mais habitable. Nous serons de retour sur notre super chantier dès la mi-mars. Si tu aimerais te joindre à nous, en savoir plus, voir des photos au autre. S'il-te-plait contacte-moi et on pourrait t'organiser un sejour parmis-nous. La région est magnifique, très sauvage, beaucoup de pêche et chasse, raquette chien de traineau, ski, si tu aimes le plein-air tu seras comblé.

Area: Nelson & Bays

Hello, my name is Marty. I have a small accommodation business on my property in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. Every two weeks I go by boat and car to my other home in Nelson to look after my two boys, Francis 12 yrs. and Michael 8 yrs. and work there as a builder. My chief interests are meditation,oil painting, music, bush walking, swimming and boating. I have travelled widely, especially through Asia and relate well to all cultures.My home in Nydia Bay is powered by a homebuilt hydro generator and solar panels as my lifestyle passion is sustainable living and self sufficency. I'm currently getting my organic garden and orchard together. I'd love some help with all this too!! But really this is about connecting with like-minded people,new friendships and sharing ideas as much as just getting help with the wide variety of jobs here.
